2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA is listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have severe deformation, with missing sections and exposed internal components and broken plastic. The headlamp at the affected front corner is severely damaged, with a fractured or missing outer lens and exposed internal parts. The front fender in the same area is crushed and torn, with irregular panel edges and exposed components. The hood has a deformed front edge and an uneven gap above the damaged corner. With the bumper, headlamp, and surrounding fascia broken or absent, radiator-side components, wiring, brackets, and other internal parts are visibly exposed. Detached bumper or grille components with broken plastic and trim are also visible on the ground near the vehicle. The center grille emblem is missing, leaving a circular opening. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess damage to the underlying components and determine the parts and repairs required.
